- Clearly the Psalmist wishes to be saved (Psalms 69:2-4) — does Psalms 69:5 indicate that from which he wishes to be saved?
- And, in Psalms 69:8-10 would it appear that he has “enemies” because of his faith in God and/or some religious act or actions?
- Yet, in Psalms 69:15-16 — where there is reference to “bottomless waters” and “abyss” — would it appear that the hope is to be saved from death?
- Does Psalms 69:22 resonate as borrowed from Psalms by/for another faith’s religious writings?
- Would it appear from Psalms 69:27 that in addition to the “enemies” and other tribulations the Psalmist has been “tested” by God?
- And, in the closing verses (Psalms 69:33-37) does the Psalmist end with hope, rather than despair, and with optimism, rather than depression as to what will finally be his lot because of God’s “nature”?
